Slider coming apart

[soxbrat]

I have a 2008 K-Z Sportster toyhauler. The floor of one of my slides is separating from the wall. Has anyone else encountered this? If so, how did you repair it?

Thank you. I'll take a look and see if I can access this with the slide out so that I can try your suggested repair. If not, I guess I can always take it to a shop, but I hate paying for something if I can fix it myself.

Then look for the cause. Water leak???

go outside the rv and look at the floor with slide extended. If it droops or seems uneven in spots you can use good quality screws (3" torx or so) and run a few on the outside edge of the slide. If it's due to water damage your time is limited, you'll have to replace the floor. Usually the slide floor is one continuous piece of plywood or OSB with no support under it, so screws only bite into wood framing or aluminum on the outside edges

Very good advice. Rarely these things come apart and if the coach is not under warranty screws will do the trick. It is also wise to put some liquid nails into the seam as well then screw it in.
